i entered short USDCHF 5 mins, maybe too soon ? SL 50 pip
I've entered it based on my usual system. I've entered exactly on the R1 level, it was 1H overbought and the $ index also reached its R1 level. This looks like USDCHF will fall.

But I've left the trade again with a 5pip win, because the symphonie indicator wasnt showing an entry yet (15 min) and that is what I want to test this week.

And this case we must close the position because it can't reach 30 pips but we have another extreme spike with color?

It should fall, but the question is how fast and how far.

p.s. I've entered EUR/AUD and now I'm waiting for all signals on GBP/JPY

i entered short USDCHF 5 mins 0.92667, maybe too soon ? SL 50 pip

I entered and lost on that one this morning, I'm avoiding USDCHF now as it often puts me in really tight spots. It tends to get more extreme spikes with colour than EURUSD but they seem to lead to bad trades more than EURUSD does.

Must also add that with the way the euro is at the moment, especially this week and last, it's a really tough time trading against the generally bearish euro currencies, especially as you're shut out of a lot of bearish trades due to bullish spikes being rare and short-lived and not providing that 'extreme coloured spike'.

Guys,

Very first post here and it has been this system that has sucked me right in. It's great. Eval you are the Batman of Forex, nice job!

I do have one tip, this fits for the guys a few posts up that went SHORT on USDCHF today. To help filter possibly a bad move and help enhance a perfect entry I use GG-Trendbar.ex4 (Attached).

Today USDCHF showed almost and entire green bar with this indi. Which shows a very strong uptrend therefore I try to avoid shorts. I went long on USDCHF early this morning its now almost 90pips in profit.

Excellent tip, thank you very much!

Are there any draw backs to the GG-Trendbar, does it mean you enter good trades later for example?

No no, it's just a little bar that sits up the top that gives you either a GREEN, YELLOW or RED light, depending on the trend on ALL timeframes. It's fantastic, and stops you from not having to check constantly the other timeframes for trend direction.

Therefore, your trades placed WITH the major trend will give you more confidence on success and the confidence to ride the wave for longer term pips.

a quiet and painlful drop of my ego ( ) i mean of EU!

the bull didn't happen but the bear did. i took a 50pip SL early on as i was expecting a bull. when I logged in by London open, I wasn't really sure if the drop would sustain so i applied the re-rentry strategy of SEFC then exit when the schaff hooked up. been in and out for 4 times now and only made 73 pips (less 50 earlier) so im still +23.

that's enough for me today.

we still have the US and Swiss rates to await this week!

safe trading everyone....

This is going to sound cruel and nasty of me, but I was almost 100% certain that you were going to lose this trade when you posted your entry. I was going to mention it then but I thought 'no......why do I bother?......when I have explained this most basic of all FX rules time and time again, but still these guys won't listen and/or haven't bothered to read the thread through.'

Sigh...... DON'T TRADE AGAINST THE TREND

Look at the attached chart........you can see that the PA has been climbing steadily and strongly since mid way through last Friday. WHY.......do you want to sell into such a strong and steady trend????? What possible reason can you have to enter short?????????

FFS WAKE UP!!!!!

Yep, all default settings. I have not actually played with any settings.

I agree with REALJUMPER 100%. Why are people fighting trends, the past 2 days have been beautiful for riding some waves. I havn't closed anything since they started, so far 300pips off 5 continuous trends. Scroll up and check out the GG-Trendline I posted.

Good for you Rokz. Since last night to now I am in over 900+ pips and holding. I'll check out the GG-T and see how it goes.
Kotlt: you might want to adjust your 5,15,60,250 indie to 5,15,30,60! That tends to center the price action better, imho.

I have an indicator in mind that I would like to get programmed. I could ask MaryJane but I know she doesn't like to program much
it's not so trivial - see here.

version a requires 2 consecutive bars (1st closed, 2nd can be open) to change from neutral to bull/bear.. there will always be neutral colour between bull/bear with version a. it will lag but it will never repaint the colours.

version b will ocassionaly repaint the last closed bar with wrong colour (only one, not two or more) in choppy conditions but per observation in visual tester it's barely noticeable (m5). i only found one occurance of an error in 2 days of m5 (see bottom pic for what i mean), otherwise it should behave exactly what you want it to do and the shape of the MA will never repaint. this version seems much more comfortable to work with as the indi responds to the conditions immediately.

of course someone could make an absolutely perfect version c like it was done with 2-colour 'correct' MAs (the solution with CleanPoint and PlotPoint - see AllAverages_cc for example) and expand that concept to incorporate the neutral condition (colour). there's no reason for the indi to repaint conceptually - all data is supplied in realtime - the mess are the mt4 buffers, most coloured MAs are flawed for this reason. i'm unable to do it right now. and after all, i can't code.

screenshot below is b.
